Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for releasing resources, comprising: an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) receiving a detach request from a User Equipment (UE), wherein the detach request carries a Detach Type of the UE; the EPC informing an evolved Node Base (eNB) corresponding to the UE of the Detach Type, wherein the EPC sends a UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message to the eNB, and wherein the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries the Detach Type by the following manners: in the situation that the Detach Type is switch off, the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries (i) an Information Element Cause (IE Cause): switch off detach or (ii) an IE Cause: detach, and carries a sub-IE Detach Type: switch off; in the situation that the Detach Type is normal, the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries (i) an IE Cause: normal detach, or (ii) an IE Cause: detach, and sub-IE Detach Type: normal; and the eNB cancelling to send a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Release message to the UE in the situation that the Detach Type is switch off; and the eNB sending the RRC Connection Release message to the UE in the situation that the Detach Type is normal.

2. A system for releasing resources, comprising a UE, an eNB corresponding to the UE and an EPC, wherein the UE, configured to send a detach request to the EPC via the eNB, wherein the detach request carries a Detach Type of the eNB; the EPC, configured to receive the detach request via the eNB and inform the eNB of the Detach Type, wherein the EPC comprises a receiving module and a sending module stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the receiving module is configured to receive the detach request and wherein the sending module is configured to send a UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message to the eNB, wherein the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries the Detach Type by the following manners: in the situation that the Detach Type is switch off, the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries an Information Element Cause (IE Cause): switch off detach; and in the situation that the Detach Type is normal, the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries an IE Cause: normal detach; and the eNB, configured to cancel sending an RRC Connection Release message to the UE in the situation that the Detach Type is switch off.

3

3. the system according to claim 2 , wherein the eNB is further configured to send the RRC Connection Release message to the UE in the situation that the Detach Type is normal.

4

4. An evolved Node Base (eNB), comprising: a receiving module stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the receiving module configured to receive a Detach Type of a UE from an EPC, wherein the EPC comprises a receiving module and a sending module stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the receiving module is configured to receive the detach request, and wherein the sending module is configured to send a UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message to the eNB, wherein the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries the Detach Type by the following manners: in the situation that the Detach Type is switch off, the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries an Information Element Cause (IE Cause): switch off detach; and in the situation that the Detach Type is normal, the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message carries an IE Cause: normal detach; a scheduling module stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, configured to schedule a first determining module stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium in the situation that the Detach Type is switching off; and the first determining module, configured to determine not to send an RRC Connection Release message to the UE.

5

5. The eNB according to claim 4 , wherein the eNB further comprises: a second determining module stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, configured to determine to send the RRC Connection Release message to the UE; and the scheduling module, further configured to schedule the second determining module in the situation that the Detach Type is normal.
